That's cruel.....I'd watch lol. Honestly I think one of the best ways for letting me to become a real Grandmasters to play a s*** ton of games blindfolded.
Levy: plays one of the most complicated board games in the world blindfolded, creates a winning position, forgets that he didn't move one of his pieces. Hikaru: WHEEEEEZE
Most of the moves were forced or he probably expected the opponent (based on their rating) to do the move he anticipated. Should be expected from one of the best chess players.
Hikaru pre-moved mate in 5 while blind-folded starting with QH5 move....he is blind-folded!!!!! Insane memory and calculating skills; just astonishing!
Hikaru just doesn't have to do anything..He already has Stockfisch preinstalled in his head & mouth About Levy..well...He is handling this pretty good :) Love you both
Here I am thinking Hikaru is just a great player. Then he says “I’m sufficiently awake, I’ve opened another process” and that process was god mode. Jesus that was clinical.
No I did not have a shorter way, Levy, cause he had King H6. Thank you very much. WOW. Just WOW. I had thought of the "shorter way" and I thought! Did I outbrain him? No. The man is a legend.
This interesting thing about 960 chess blindfolded, for me, is I think it's very likely that the brain encodes the board by taking something similar to a delta of the known starting positions.. or perhaps more accurately, it is vastly easier to encode positions that are familiar or semi-familiar to the player. So I think this would have been more difficult even if the starting positions were given. It would be very difficult to remember all of the positions on the board without chunking the information so it all fits in your working memory. Humans can fit about 3-5 things in working memory at a time.. the way we seemingly fit more is by encoding patterns into smaller units. So maybe you could fit 5 unrelated words in memory or 5 easy to remember sentences. And obviously your ability to create patterns for more optimal encoding is beneficial.. in any case this is definitely an oversimplification, but the point remains.
When Levy said Bg7 he assumed his bishop was on f8 that's what screwed him over and made him think it was a position closer to og chess ultimately hanging his queen :(
Lol, he said Aragon is french, all the aragones people now want to hit Hikaru in the face! :D:D:D It is a spanish region, which was a kingdom hundreds of years ago.
Honest question: how do people learn playing blind chess (or any other game for that matter). Is this being practiced separately from the regular practice of the game itself?
It looks to me that Hikaru doesn't really care about Levy. He's not paying attention and is "asserting" dominance by being focused on the chat most times. Its a weird chemistry. Looks more like an awkward partnership than a friendship tbh
@GMHikaru @01:26:37 is when levy got confused. Had he asked if Bf8 to G7 possible? he would have known that bishop is not on f8. He jst asked whether Bishop G7 possible. It's sad.
Blindfolded and still looks at the ceiling... yeah sure
Its a habit of his man
@@terranloudenback2102 ong 😂😂
I WAS THINKING THAT TOO
Levy also still had his glasses on though. Don't need glasses if you're blindfolded, do you? Kind of suspicious.
These are chess masters they do not need to cheat they can play without the board or peices
Hikaru u should do another blindfold chess with Levy but prank Levy by being the other player
this is an AMAZING idea
thats what I was thinking!
Alternative: Get Hikaru's chat to play by votes.
A genius idea
That's cruel.....I'd watch lol. Honestly I think one of the best ways for letting me to become a real Grandmasters to play a s*** ton of games blindfolded.
The thumbnail person deserves a raise
When you think they can't get any more spicy, they get spicier.
Levy: plays one of the most complicated board games in the world blindfolded, creates a winning position, forgets that he didn't move one of his pieces.
Hikaru: WHEEEEEZE
Did anyone notice Hikaru was even premoving Levy's opponents' moves lol
Yes
the whole idea of premoves is the opponents moves are predictable or forced
Most of the moves were forced or he probably expected the opponent (based on their rating) to do the move he anticipated. Should be expected from one of the best chess players.
Hikaru: Swiftly finds mate in 5 blindfolded and proceeds to think about French monarchs
Plz timestamp
@@dejenoskam9005 0:11:23
Pretty obvious
flexed so hard
Aragon is a region in Spain, not a French Dynasty. If memory serves, King Ferdinand (of Ferdinand and Isabella) was king of Aragon.
33:08 Hikaru shows Levy the correct lines blindfolded and Levy like: "Yeah"
Hikaru should play Levy while Levy is blindfolded and unaware
Congrats to Hikaru on winning co-first place with Magnus in the 960 tournament!
11:35 calculated it in literally a second lmfao
pretty obvious, duh ;)
proceeds to mumble enchantments and furiously drawing 10 arrows
hikaru's built different😂
and flexed so hard
What's funnier is how he made levy look stupid after
"Come Levy...I want to show you my playroom"
Anakin ?
Ashiq Arief Mr. Nakamura 😏
Plot twist: It's just a room full of chessboards
15:05 - 16:07 hikaru’s longest “PepeLaugh hold it in” in history
11:35 hikaru flexing
0:00 - 1:45:12 Hikaru flexing
Hikaru pre-moved mate in 5 while blind-folded starting with QH5 move....he is blind-folded!!!!! Insane memory and calculating skills; just astonishing!
These titles and thumbnail are getting out of hand
It has gone out of hand so long ago
@joe Kerr true
and into my heart.
Just. Made my day 😂
@@hellwroughtangel imagine if it was Alex instead of levy
[insert thumbnail appreciation post here]
The blindfolded 960 game should be a video on its own. Guessing the position and playing from there is astonishing
Hikaru: Plays blindfold chess and can still find better moves than an IM.
Also Hikaru: Can't stop spilling food everywhere like a child.
Hikaru just doesn't have to do anything..He already has Stockfisch preinstalled in his head & mouth
About Levy..well...He is handling this pretty good :)
Love you both
They even try distract each other with smalltalk while remembering up to 32 pieces' positions blindfolded.
21:24 When Levy missed mate in 2 (Qe8+ and Qc8 mate), Hikaru made a funny face!
40:38 It's funny how Hikaru didn't hear any of what levy said.. He took off his headphones...
2:45 here hikaru checks his ceiling again to calculate 50 moves ahead to see if levy wins
That is easily the weirdest thumbnail I’ve ever seen and it belongs to the most famous chess grandmaster of all people
hikaru: playing chess blind isn't really that difficult... also hikaru: getting this food into my mouth is pretty difficult
I like how Hikaru still looks up even though he is blinded.
After 5 pre moves leading to checkmate, while simultaneously discussing bourbon dynasty proceeds to saying "pretty obvious", yeah sure.
Here I am thinking Hikaru is just a great player. Then he says “I’m sufficiently awake, I’ve opened another process” and that process was god mode. Jesus that was clinical.
11:29 my favorite part of this video
12:54 did Hikaru play d5 for the opponent? It looks like he just picks up the pawn and plays it
Ludwig's gonna say something about this one.
More like boxbox lmao
No I did not have a shorter way, Levy, cause he had King H6. Thank you very much. WOW. Just WOW. I had thought of the "shorter way" and I thought! Did I outbrain him? No. The man is a legend.
8:42 "You are so a bad liar, don't play Among us". And so Hikaru oblitared 2 people in 2 different games simultaneously.
Actually Levy was exhausted even before starting chess960 and had no intension of playing it but he however did it for Hikaru. I respect that. ❤️
pretty obvious
proceeds to mumble enchantments and furiously drawing 10 arrows
32:17 even levy couldn't keep up😂
40:48 Love how Levy is saying smth meanwhile Hikaru just eating in peace
12:53 what happened with that d5 move? It looks like Hikaru not only predicted it, but he actually just moved the pawn for the opponent.
The next thumbnail is just going to be a full frontal of Hikaru
26:15 *I booted up another process.. So 1000% computer confirmed!*
1:24:50 LOOOOOOL HIKARU 😭😭
i only come for the thumbnails.
They both are really good in blindfold chess, I have seen other GMs and IMs struggling more.
So hilarious when he played Bishop from h8 to g7 and thought it meant the bishop was on f8. Unfortunately that tiny logic slip lost him his queen! RIP
I love how Levy has the memory to play blindfolded...except he forgot he didn't move his Queen.
I just realized that Hikaru has never beaten me in chess.
Hikaru and Levy are the ultimate meme face combination in existence
I like how blindfolded Chess960 is less chess and more Battleship
18:55 Hikaru premove Ke6 for opponent then Ba6 😆 🤣 😂
Anyone notice
2:00 Best moment in chess history
23:30 Chair takes chair premove
23:16 chair stream
2:02 Hikaru missed a perfect opportunity to troll Levy: illegal move, you lost Levy!
Everyone:
Gamers for no reason: 0:04
12:55 what just happened there?? Looks like hikaru dragged his opponent’s pawn
Yeah you can do that but it doesnt actually move, he just know that they will move it like that

Whos ever make these thumbnails should get a raise
64 shades of Gary
Hikaru makes blindfold looks easy.
It was good but not as good as our blindfolded master Ludwig
Jesus that Bg5 and the forced mate was savage.
When these guys are together, it's always entertaining content. I hope you'll collab more often
the thumbnail had me crying
15:24
The thumbnail cracks me up so much, thank you whoever made it
Aragon is an autonomic province in Spain
Aragon was actually a kingdom in Modern Spain. And in fact, only when Aragon and Castille united, did Spain start existing.
FusRohDah nice
11:50 😂😂😂 " ya I mean pretty obvious"
Timestamp for myself:before 52:17 good game
4:10 hahahaha brilliant move omg he was so stunned the bishop is on d1 LOL
Thanks for the nightmares to who ever made this thumbnail.
When Levy said Bg7 he assumed his bishop was on f8 that's what screwed him over and made him think it was a position closer to og chess ultimately hanging his queen :(
This thumbnail is legendary
In 960 Levy really gave some hints to hikaru but on the other hand hikaru was so strict and he gave no info😂
Imagine Tyler1 playing chess getting coached by Hikaru
Thumbnail got me fkd up 😂
2:03 and this is when Levi knew... he fucked up
11:19 that was sick :D dayum
Lol, he said Aragon is french, all the aragones people now want to hit Hikaru in the face! :D:D:D It is a spanish region, which was a kingdom hundreds of years ago.
Most cursed thumbnail I have seen
33:42 hikaru definitely pissed his shorts lmao
nah he dropped salmon
1:21:45 "HES CHEATING" - by toxic chat member 101
No one can imagine that even this type of thumbnails GM can use😂😂😂
Surely chessbae should be somewhere in that thumbnail... 🤣💞🤣
jes levy is definitely on roll Adderall
Hikaru is a beast ,good job man
These titles and thumbnails man.
Aragon is a place in Spain.

huh
In Soviet Russia, the WFM takes *your* queen
Hikaru is literally saying the opponents moves before they move
@GMHikaru @01:26:37 is when levy got confused. Had he asked if Bf8 to G7 possible? he would have known that bishop is not on f8. He jst asked whether Bishop G7 possible. It's sad.
hey i have idea what if hikaru plays 2 game at the same time but he plays one looking at the board and one mentally like when they play blindfolded
levys chair vs hikarus fan
What the hell is that thumbnail? Hahaha OMG
Wow no comments till now!!
whoever does the thumbnails needs a raise
